Please excuse me for ignoring most of your instructions!, there were so many ideas in your brief, I thought I'd share my own ... a chess pawn is a scout in the game of chess :)
I didn't know about the chess pawn being a scout. Thank you for that information. I would prefer a dog being the "mascot" versus the pawn. "scouting out" great items. I do like the size of the SCOUT lettering to the charlottesville lettering....but not sure that I like the actual font. I also like the latitude longitude of the locations. I prefer softer hues....pale blues/greys/lavenders and or metallic pinks golds and silvers The metallic gold of the pawn is not shiny enough. Great start. Thank you
